The male birds with few exceptions have no penis. The mating birds cling and may twist about until the two cloaca are brought together and sperm is transferred to the female.
The cloaca is the posterior opening for a bird's digestive, urinary and reproductive tracts that is used to expel feces and lay eggs.

Raccoon (Procyon lotor)
The raccoon shelters in woodchuck burrows, hollow trees or rock crevices.
The babies are raised by their mother. As soon as the young raccoons are strong enough to follow her, the mother takes them to the ponds and streamsides to hunt for food.
